The best walking is where the midges are - the north west.  If you go early spring they shouldn't be too bad.  I spent a week once at the glencoe forestry site at whit.  Apparently it was the driest whit since records began and when I came home I looked as if I had been to the bahamas.  I don't remember too much of a problem with midges.

Hi - I am looking for a site ( for either for a tent or a campervan) near the coast in Scotland (dh has a bad allergic reaction to midges!!!) that has nice walks starting either from the site or within walking distance from the site. Dh isnt a great walker but I am and I hate having to ask him to drive me to a walking area just so he can sit in the car while I am hoofing it!

Any area in Scotland as long as there are no midges!

Thanks

Hi,

North Ledaig near Oban has walks directly from the site. I remember reading this in their literature. Sorry to say that we haven't experienced them as our kids are a little too young yet.

The site is excellent and directly on the coast, with excellent facilities and views. It'sa caravan club site.

Cheers, Alex.
